Dielectric Properties of the PZT Thin Film Capacitors for DRAM Application

DRAM용 PZT 박막 캐패시터의 유전특성

In this study, $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ ceramic thin films were fabricated from an alkoxide-based by Sol-Gel method. $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ stock solution was made and spin-coated on the $Pt/SiO_2/Si$ substrate at 4000[rpm] for 30[sec]. Coated specimens were dried at 400[$^{\circ}C$] for 10 [min]. The coating process was repeated 4 times and then heat-treated at 500$\sim$800[$^{\circ}C$], 1 hour. The final thickness of the thin films were about 3000[A]. The crystallinity and microstructure of the thin films were investigated for varing the sintering condition. The ferroelectric perovskite' phases precipitated under the sintering of 700[$^{\circ}C$] for 1 hours. In the $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ thin films sintered at 700[$^{\circ}C$] for 1 hour, dielectric constant and dielectric loss were 2133, 2.2[%] at room temperature, respectively. $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ thin film capacitors having good dielectric and electrical properties are expected for the application to the dielectric material of DRAM.
